Thursday

lately







it is fun living in a town focused on wine and tourism. like friday night wine barrel racing down the main street.
i go back to work tomorrow after school term break. i have done little during this holiday. some sorting of 'things' at home (aka nesting). some baking/cooking. laundry. op shopping. sleeping. watching dvds and reading. gardening (rose from my lovely sylvia bush). it has been blissful.
i am dreading the energy it takes to teach as i want to give my all to the kiddies that need me but i feel very drained from carrying around my little pouch. six weeks until i take leave. the critter inside the pouch we are calling baby kanga as it is a little aussie and for its mama it feels like it is a boxing kangaroo living in there!

Awww, little kanga is very lucky to have you as a mumma. Wow, not long now for you before you meet.

My little tyke has only just started to give me little flutters of movement, it's so cute : )

I hope you're doing well Ashley and taking care of yourself! That first photo is just amazing - the colour!

Hi Ashley, sounds like your litle family is already having fun together: image all the fun you'll have in the years to come!
That tea rose is beautiful - I'm sure I can smell it! Not many people grow roses in Alice Springs, so 'sniffing adventures' around the neighbourhood is something I miss! X
And yes, the beans were yummy!

perhaps you could teach your class to massage feet and cook the special food you crave

Your holiday sounds perfect. I love your rose - so pretty.


Hope you're finding some energy. It's hard yakka growing baby kanga!
